It isn't the end of the world, I know <br />But in a moments time I loved you so. <br />And now I'm defeated, I am prisoner here <br />Never so cold was my heart nor so hot were my tears. <br /> <br />I gave you my light, yet you let it burn out <br />It was drowned in my eyes and smothered in doubt. <br />I have no strength left to bear the weight of my emptiness <br />When all of my strength has been conquered by your gentle caress. <br /> <br />Yet like a tyrant king you rule my heart <br />For all the freedom you have, you will not let me part. <br />So here I sit alone in your chains of gold <br />In the confines of your heart where it feels so cold.<br /><br />Heather Marie Mortimer<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/moment-2-2/
